Who Should I Start? James Cook or Khalil Herbert

Sunday, October 20, 7:08 PM

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook rushed 12 times for 32 yards and a touchdown in the team's 34-10 win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. For the first time this season, Cook did not record a reception. The touchdown saved what was otherwise an inefficient day on the ground. Cook returned to the lineup after a one-game absence and handled the early-down work for the Bills in the first half. Backup rookie Ray Davis (five carries, 41 yards, one touchdown) got the majority of his production in the second half. Expect Cook to remain the starter and handle most of the running back touches against Seattle in Week 8.

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert was included in Ian Rapport's list of "players whose names are generating interest in trade discussions." The 26-year-old has spent his entire career in Chicago, where he has had some solid showings. However, he's having the worst season of his career, amassing only eight carries for 16 yards and a touchdown. The Bears currently deploy D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson out of the backfield, leaving little room for Herbert to get involved. While he's not worth a roster spot in fantasy leagues, his stock could rise significantly moving ahead if he gets moved, so the situation is worth monitoring.
